Harm is so normalized, being against it, offends.
To each other.
To animals.
To the planet.
To one selves.
It's so normal, people are offended if you're against it.

For years, AIPAC played a key role in U.S. politics as a campaign financing powerhouse, but now aspiring candidates are distancing themselves from the group. What lies ahead for the Lobby as the Gaza genocide has made Israel a political liability?

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

Critics say the bill would apply only to Palestinians who kill Jews, not the other way around.

Interesting how the line is, now that we have legalized sports gambling across the board there's no putting that genie back in the bottle versus sure we can end the hemp industry with one line in an unrelated bill.
The shutdown deal includes a ban on hemp products that none of its negotiators debated in public.
Disappointing that only 24 senators voted against killing an amendment to strike that ban.

A big reason proc gen feels so different to AI in spite of superficial similarities is exactly this!!
Proc Gen systems reflect the interests and creative preferences of the tool makers, whereas AI is catch-all sludge that reflects no specific point of view. It’s not remotely the same!

In case anyone ever asks, I *have* written a material generator and a music generator for Eldritch 2, but that's not AI. That's me taking all the things I personally know about those things, and writing my own tools to make the process a little faster and easier for myself. It's still 100% me, baby.
